How protected is it from being dropped? Will the screen crack? Can the sides get chipped or scratced as well?

The Galaxy Note 3 itself will be sitting in a crystal silicone case the will cover the entire back and all around the front to hold it securely in the case. The front and back flaps provide it cushion to protect your phone from drops. It is best to keep the front flap closed whenever you are not using the screen of your phone to keep your screen protected as much as possible in case you do drop it. Hope this helps!! :)

I'd hate to have to actually "test" this product with my new phone, but it's a very secure hard plastic shell which is in cased in a faux leather-like billfold flip cover. Appears to me you'd have to have the cover open and slam it on a pretty hard surface to possibly do any damage so I'm pretty confident of its impact safety. Sides and back are completely secure. With glass there's always a chance of cracking but the screen protector that comes with it is a slight deterrent.

not sure about dropping it, but the case is a good bit higher than the screen. i haven't had much luck putting on any kind of screen protector (one of the reasons i purchased this case), there is one included with the case but i always end up with a lot of bubbles when i try to apply a protector.

Hello Isabella! my case is a little prominent, surrounding the screen, like a milimeter or two, so, if it falls horizontally, on a flat surface, the screen won't get in direct contact with it. It's great for minor drops. That doesn't mean the screen wouldn't get damaged though. If you drop from a different angle or if it falls from too high, or in high speed, like from a bike in motion... The screen might get damaged anyway. But I dropped mine while walking and jogging on the street a few times and nothing happened to the screen (neither to the rest of the phone, btw) I also use an invisible screen protector, so it's always free of minor scratches. I would recommend an invisible screen protector to any touchscreen owners. Although mine suffered a few bumps, it looks brand new! Hope this helps you! Lucy

I've dropped my phone with this case on and my screen hasn't cracked. However, I may have just been lucky. This case doesn't have a protector over the screen, so it depends on what type of surface you drop your phone on.

No. My screen is busted. The corner of the case hit the ground and shattered my screen. This case protects from scratches on the back and side, but is not remotely protective, truly. Its pretty and well made but unless you use the kickstand its basically, well, useless.

I haven't dropped my phone but this fits so well I feel like it is protected. Now if you drop it on the screen, that is a different issue. You don't have any real screen protection.

It is a plastic case, so it offers some protection but I wouldn't consider it "safe from a fall". The screen sits in a slot provided for it...it can move if jostled.

The case has a beveled edge around the screen that does aid in protecting the screen against drops. In my opinion the screen could still crack if it hit flush on a hard surface but that is true with any case save for an otterbox or lifeproof style case. For the price this case provides the best protection.

I have dropped my phone a couple time and there is no damage. The corners are protected by the hard plastic shell and there is a lip (thats not holding elasticity) that helps cushion the fall. But the screen is not protected.

Yea i bought a screen protector with the case. I think it will protect it if your phone falls on one of the sides or even face down because the case does come up over the edges but the screen is fully exposed. So if something were to fall on it or it fall on a corner, it would probably do some damage.

With a screen protector the phone will be fine with this case. I drop mine constantly and it's undamaged. This phone is already pretty durable to boot.

No. It don't not cover the screen, and the edges are flush with the edge of the phone, so the screen has no protection if you drop it.

I've dropped it a few times and my phone has been fine. clearly If you drop it screen down into gravel with out a screen protector on the phone, it may crack. The phone sits down into the case so if dropped on your floor your screen will be fine. As for the oils, I'm not sure. the sides of the case are plastic and the rest is like a dense silicone rubber, I know its stain resistance and the oil from your skin will not show on the case.

I have the same one for my phone now. I have dropped it numerous times and my screen luckily has not broke.

I've dropped mine a few times with no damage to screen. Not hard drops, mostly indoors. A corner drop on concrete would probably break the glass. I really like this case. It's thin, but still gives some protection. I usually use a snap on shell, but I like this because the buttons are easier to feel with this case. Hope that helps.

Highly unlikely. I have dropped mine twice and it is well protected on the edges. Very high quality case for the money with screen protector compared to what you can purchase elsewhere.
